No child should go hungry, especially in schools. And they definitely should not be shamed for having a negative balance.

The meals are now free here in CA. They should be for people that can't afford it everywhere. It wasn't always this way here though and I am glad it is now.

Thanks, Michele - I know Wisconsin recently passed funding for free school meals there, too. I'm hopeful more states will follow suit.

I do not understand the" meanness " of Tennessee legislators to subject young children to such harassment as receiving a substitute lunch. Everyone will know!!

This shouldn't be a question! As one whose parents had a hard time paying for lunches. I took my lunch, very lucky, but so many children don't have parents who can pack the lunch or the means to do so.
